Tony Brady, a lifetime non-smoker, finds himself in need of a double lung transplant due to a rare disease of the lungs called Sarcoidosis.

Tony, known as "Brady" to his fellow veteran buddies, is a man everyone describes as dedicated: to his country, his work and his family. Tony has always been an active guy, until recently still swift and strong, no doubt from his training as a paratrooper in the U.S. Armed Forces.


Though retired from the Army and working in the civilian world, just a few years ago Tony was taking full advantage of his able-bodiedness. He enjoyed fishing, lifting weights, travelling and riding his bicycle. He even ruptured his second achilles tendon during a volleyball game not too long ago! The recent advance of his lung disease has drastically changed his quality of life.


Luckily, Tony is now on an organ donation list for his much needed double lung transplant. Tony is fortunate enough to have many resources and lots of support at his disposal but there are many out-of-pocket costs associated with this life-saving procedure that insurance just won't cover.

Pledging whatever you can will help alleviate concerns around:

*Transportation to and from Boston

*Hospital parking fees

*Co-pays for pre and postoperative visits

*Postoperative medical equipment

*Postoperative in-home services

*Medications (lifelong prescriptions)

*Lost wages

Tony's positivity and willingness to lend a hand have touched so many lives of the people around him. Give what you can to help us lift up this stellar father, husband and friend so he can get back on his bike and live life to the fullest.
